Preparing the Library for Replacement

WARNING: The library's GUI touch screen does not
completely shut off NEO 8000 system power. To
reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to
equipment, unplug both power cords.
1. Power down the library at the front panel.
2. Set the library circuit breakers to the OFF ("O")
position.
3. Remove and retain the power cords.
4. Locate the blower assembly being replaced
(Figure 1).
The process is the same for both the Primary and
Secondary blower assemblies.

Overview & Notes

Electrostatic Discharge Information

A discharge of static electricity can damage micro-circuitry
or static-sensitive devices. To help prevent electrostatic
damage, observe the following precautions:
• Transport and store items in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers
until they arrive at static-free stations.
• Use a wrist strap and properly-grounded tools.
• Make sure you are always properly grounded when
touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
• Keep the work area free of non-conductive materials.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
